March 10th Michael Matson Ride to Music Clinic we are still accepting entries!!!
Michael will work with each rider
to select music that specifically matches their horse’s
gaits and their style of movement. Each horse will be evaluated at the walk,
trot and
canter to establish their beats per minute. Each rider will then ride to
various songs until the horse/rider find music that “fits” the horse that it
appears to be
dancing. Music of a similar genre is selected for the three gaits so that all of
the music
flows together.
Each rider will receive
a CD of their horse’s special music for them to use as a training
tool (keeping regular tempo), just to have fun riding to “perfect music”, or to
use to
create a musical dressage freestyle.
Audience participation is highly encouraged to help the horse and riders select
their
music. This clinic is open to riders of all levels. Sessions will be
assigned on a first come first
serve basis with payment in full. Riders will be required to provide a negative
coggins
and sign a Hold Harmless form Each session is scheduled for one hour. Each rider
will get a
CD with their horse's music on it the same day.
Rides are $65 per rider. Auditors/Spectators are welcome they will be $15 each.
If you are interested in attending or riding please contact Madams8550@aol.com and fill out the entry form below.
